FESTIVALS & EVENTS
Gather and Bloom Twilight Pick at Bloom Into You Flower Farm
Gather and Bloom Twilight Pick is a seasonal golden hour flower picking event at Bloom Into You Flower Farm in Flowerdale, Victoria, 80 minutes north of Melbourne. Held on Saturday evenings from January to April as part of the A Summer in Bloom season, it invites you onto a boutique flower farm as the sun sets, to gather your own blooms and enjoy an evening of food, music and connection in a quiet country setting.
Stroll the grassy pathways lined with dahlias, zinnias and cosmos glowing in the golden hour light, as gentle acoustic music drifts across the fields. Elevate the evening with The Bloom Graze for Two, a premium picnic box, or a styled Bloom Table for eight.
Each session runs about two and a half hours. Start times follow the sunset, easing earlier through the season, so check your booking for the time on your date.
Pair it with a stay at Villa Minto, the luxury accommodation overlooking the farm. Numbers are limited to keep the evening intimate. Early bookings essential.
